Community Outreach Volunteers are responsible for supporting the LGBT+ Outreach Coordinator (LOC) on all events and PR opportunities. This includes working with the LOC by promoting Four Pillars services. Offering advice, guidance and sign posting when attending events and the preparation and execution of one off events such as World Aids Day (this does not include Grampian Pride). Other basic duties include keeping track of attendees, keeping event areas clean and other tasks as set out by the LOC. No qualifications are needed for this role as full training will be given. A strong outgoing personality is recommended for this role as you will be expected to approach and engage with service users. Four Pillars will be hosting various events across Moray, including Keith, Dufftown, Forres, Buckie and Elgin. We hold events in coffee shops and libraries and other venues across Moray. We cannot provide transport, but can cover travel expenses. Ideally we are looking for our volunteers to live locally, so they can possibly run the event on their own once they have experience and training.

We meet usually once a month for about 2 hrs (7pm- 9pm) usually the 3rd Thursday of the month. We can offer a small payment to cover expenses. Some examples of our involvement are monthly meetings involving locally elected councillors, police and guest speakers. We regularly review local planning applications, local news/ concerns and organise community events such as beach cleans, seasonal town decorations/ events such as the summer bunting and Christmas Lights display/ switch on. We also support to facilitate local projects and collaborating with organisations to distribute community funds. There is opportunity to become involved in such a wide variety of projects/ groups dependant on your availability of time.

Murton Trust is a registered charity and Murton Farm, Tea Room and Nature Reserve is also a popular visitor attraction based 2 miles outside of Forfar, Angus and currently has opportunities for anyone interested in volunteering.

As an adult volunteer with us you can share a particular skill you have whether that be organisational providing office support, photography social media, estate management & animal handling. However experience or specific skill set is not needed as we will provide training to volunteers. If you have the ability to work independently this is highly advantageous however should you require a bit of support this is also available for limited number of people too. If you are interested or would like to find out more please get in touch.
